Iconic cars are as much a part of the James Bond legend as Vodka Martinis and the Walther PPK. This fascinating programme takes a look at 10 of the best-known and most popular cars which have featured in 007 movies, from the Aston Martin DB5 to the submersible Lotus Esprit. All the marvellous machines here, even the unforgettable Citroen 2CV! We take a close-up look at the specifications of each motor, and hear from Bond experts and fans - including actor, comedian and Young Bond author Charlie Higson - about why each of these 10 cars are so important to the success of the Bond movies.
